Generally, when a person dies owning real property, title to that property passes automatically to the heirs although the estate must be probated in order for title to pass legally. As one of several heirs you have the right to the use and possession of the whole property until it is sold. The executor has been instructed to sell the property, however, the heirs still own it. You may be required to pay for the utilities you use. You should be extra careful to maintain the property in good order and not do any damage. You may want to consult with a local attorney to confirm your rights under the laws in your jurisdiction.

A power of attorney is a legal document that gives someone the authority to make decisions on behalf of another person while they are alive. An executor of an estate is responsible for managing and distributing a deceased person's assets according to their will. The main difference is that a power of attorney's authority ends upon the person's death, while an executor's responsibilities begin after the person has passed away.
